Suppression of Human Pancreatic Cancer Growth in BALB/c Nude Mice by Manumycin, a Farnesyl:protein Transferase Inhibitor
1 Feb 1996
Abstract excerpt
Activating mutations of Ki-ras have been detected in most human pancreatic adenocarcinomas. Since Ras protein requires farnesylation to function, we investigated the effects of manumycin, a potent farnesyl:protein transferase inhibitor, on the growth in nude mice of a human pancreatic cancer cell line, MIA PaCa-2, with a point mutation in the Ki-ras gene. Tumor-bearing mice received intraperitoneal injection of 1...
